£17,113 per annum + 30 days holiday + support towards further qualifications

This organisation was setup on the vision that we can do more to protect and help the most vulnerable in our society. Their aim is to promote the inclusion of all the children they support ensuring they have equal access to opportunities to become as independent as possible and not letting any barrier prevent them from living life to the full. They offer in-house medical, occupational and nursing therapies for all the children to access.

What will be your Responsibilities?

As their Support Worker, you will be working in the residential home for children aged 7-19. This will involve helping with morning routines and assisting them to get to school. (There may be minimal personal care involved.) After school or on weekend shifts, you’d encourage them to participate in activities and hobbies and help them find what they are passionate about, so they can develop their life skills and independence.

What experience & skills are required?

You will have experience working with children/young adults with learning disabilities;

You will ideally hold an NVQ level 3 in Children and Young People’s Workforce. However, full training is provided so not essential;

You must be a car driver due to the rural location of the service.

This is not only a career but is so rewarding and something where you can make a difference every day. If you have a passion to work with children and you believe every child deserves to be encouraged to be the best they can be, then we would love to hear from you.
